This old fashioned recipe is both low in calories, and easy to make. My low calorie old fashioned drink is 50 calories less than a traditional old fashioned recipe, all thanks to one ingredient.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- ½ teaspoon zero calorie simple syrup (see recipe card)
- 3 dashes bitters
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1.5 ounces whiskey or bourbon
- Orange peel
- Cocktail cherry (optional)

Healthy Old Fashioned Drink Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep: You can meal prep (or make party pitchers) by making the drink and skipping the ice. Then cover (jars are great for this) and store for later.
Storage: Will hold for 2 days in the fridge, or add to the freezer for 2 weeks (it won’t freeze solid thanks to the booze).
Serving: Pour over ice and enjoy.
